Bachelorette’s Katie Thurston ENGAGED to Blake Moynes- but fans insist he was her ‘second choice’ after Greg Grippo quit
BACHELORETTE Katie Thurston got ENGAGED to Blake Moynes on tonight’s shocking three-hour season finale.
Despite the latest ABC lead walking away with a Neil Lane ring on her hands, many fans insisted Blake was the “wrong” pick as he’s her “second choice” after a .
Following his dramatic departure, only Blake, 30, and , 26, remained.
The morning after Greg left, Katie took her one-on-one date with the Canadian wildlife worker.
As the couple sipped champagne in a desert jacuzzi, she glowed as Blake told her he's "falling in love" with her.
After Blake admitted to being "unemployed" and wanting to move to Africa, the family appeared nervous.
Her aunt gave him a stern warning: “You better be stable coming into this family. You’re here because we want you here not because we need you here.”
However, Blake continued his relationship with Katie and even picked out a diamond from the show's famous jeweler, Neil Lane.
GREG'S BREAKDOWN
“I have never been this vulnerable in my life with anyone. I won’t get down on one knee twice, it’s a one-deal thing for me and I know I won’t have any regrets at the end of this.”
However, Katie simply responded: “I just love looking at you.”
Greg appeared very upset with the short answer, which led Katie to add: “I told your family our connection is so strong and I believe in us. You know how I feel about you though, right?”
The next morning, Greg visited Katie’s hotel room and admitted it “scared the hell out of him” that she had “zero reaction” to his confession of falling in love with her.
Following several minutes of fighting, Katie appeared distraught and asked: “I can’t even comprehend what you’re saying right now. Are you done?”
“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. It was never about a rose, all I was asking for is Katie. I love everything about you and really saw you as my girl,” Greg assured her.
The New Yorker then stormed out of Katie’s hotel room - causing her to chase him down in tears.

“Well I’m not happy here anymore. I’m not. I’m done here,” Greg responded before storming off set - leaving Katie crying on the floor alone as she insisted he was “the one.”
